INTRODUCTION
When children are at home, parents should give tasks and responsibilities to children by
ordering them to learn, repeating the memorization of the Qur'an that has been memorized so
as not to forget, doing positive things, disciplining, and taking responsibility for what is done.
worked on. Parents carry out supervision and checks properly, and parents also try to
understand children with assistance and guidance in memorizing. This will make children feel
cared for so that they will be more eager to memorize (Trisnawati, 2018). The Tahsin method
itself is the method used to learn the Qur'an face-to-face, which is carried out by teachers and
students by focusing on reading the Qur'an more clearly by paying attention to the Makharijul
Huruf, or the places where letters enter and exit, accompanied by the knowledge of tajwid
(Prasojo, 2018).
Dhiya Hana Khairunnisa's thesis focuses more on memorizing the Qur'an while
researchers focus more on the motivation to learn the Qur'an in children(Khairunnisa, 2018).
Muslim et al. (2020) demonstrates the role in managing the class by ensuring the condition of
the room, determining whether there is something that interferes with the learning process in

the classroom so that it continues to run conducively, and maintaining harmony among fellow
Muslim students.
Many factors can affect the learning activities of the Qur'an in children, both from the child
himself (an intrinsic factor) and from the child's environment (An extrinsic factor). Some
children feel that learning the Qur'an is difficult to understand, while others think that it is easy.
Children who feel learning the Qur'an is difficult because the ability to understand it is indeed
lacking because they are too lazy to learn the Qur'an. In teaching the Qur'an to children, in the
book of Shaykh Jamal Abdurrahman, Al-Hafidz As-Suyuthi explained that "teaching the
Qur'an to children is one of the main points in Islam so that they are raised in the nuances of a
white and clean fitrah and their hearts are filled first with the light of wisdom before lust
overwhelms them, which will lead them to death. Blackened it because of the turbidity of
disobedience and misguidance."
The difference between this study and previous studies is that the Rumah Tahsin Al-Qur'an
(RTQ) in Aggaran Village focuses on the children in increasing their memorization. Even
though the name of this institution is Tahsin's house, they are more inclined to tahfiz but also
do not eliminate the elements of tahsin. Therefore, in correcting the reading of the Qur'an to
avoid recitation errors, the mentors assisting children in memorizing or before starting learning
will usually be guided by Murotal and Muraja'ah together.
The reason for this research is that at this time, the knowledge of the Qur'an in the
community is starting to erode, thus the existence of the Al-Qur'an tahsin house as a means to
awaken the Qur'an from an early age. children rather than just playing with gadgets and creating
a sense of belonging. If you love the Qur'an, then look at some of the experiences that can be
obtained in the field with a very high enthusiasm for learning the Qur'an by the children at the
Roudhotul Jannah Rumah Tahsin Al-Qur'an using the method preferred by children. So that
the process of learning and teaching the Qur'an is more fun and enables the teaching and
learning process among children to familiarize themselves with the Qur'an instead of playing.
In addition, the reason why the author is researching at RTQ Roudhotul Jannah is that it is
a recitation that is still running and surviving to this day in Aggaran Village. It has been
established for 13 years, but there are still many who are interested in learning the knowledge
of the Qur'an there. There are more and more students. RTQ Roudhotul Jannah has also held a
Quran graduation for its students who have completed memorizing per juz every year.
Linguistically, the tahsin method consists of two syllables: Method and tahsin. The method
itself comes from the Greek "methods", which consists of "metha", which means "through" and
"hodos" which means "way." A method is defined as a path taken to achieve a goal. According
to Soejono (1990), the method is a way of presenting teaching materials. According to
Surakhmad (1995), the method is the way that provides the highest guarantee of achieving that
goal as well as possible. A method must have the highest target or guarantee to achieve the
goal. According to Armai Arief (2002), the method is defined as a path taken to achieve the
goal. According to Soejono, the method is a way of presenting teaching materials. Another
opinion about the method came from Surakhmad. He wrote that the method is the method that
provides the highest guarantee of achieving that goal as well as possible. A method must have
the highest target and guarantee of achieving a goal.
According to (Ahmad, 2016) Tahsin comes from the word hasana-yuhasinu-tahsinan
which means to repair, refine, decorate, beautify, make better than before. Tahsin is often used

as a synonym for the word tajwid, which is the mashdar of fi'il madhi jawwada which means
to refine, perfect, strengthen. Tajweed according to the language is al ityaanu bil jayyidi which
means to give well. Tahsin is to make the reading of the Qur'an better by the legal rules of
recitation of the science of recitation and also to beautify the chanting of the reading. found in
His word QS Al-Muzammil verse 4:
"…or more than half of it. And read the Quran slowly. 21 (Q.S. Al-Muzammil 73:4)
The problem to be solved through this paper is in the form of theory and practice in the
field which will be revealed is "What is the role of RTQ in teaching the science of the Qur'an
in society, especially children and the use of what tahsin method can increase interest in
learning and reading Al-Qur'an for residents in Aggaran Karang Tengah Village, especially at
the age of children at the Rumah Tahsin Qur'an Roudhotul Jannah institution?”
Previous studies related to this title, including the one conducted by Asnaini, Yosy
Arisandy, Yunida Eenfryanti (2019) show that there are still many people who do not
understand how to read the Qur'an correctly and assistance is needed by involving many
implementing actors both from the government and collaboration with the community groups
and related agencies, such as Taklim Assembly that can be developed for a place to learn the
Qur'an.
Sri Astuti A. Samad and Heliati Fajriah mentioned that the tutoring method used to
increase interest in reading and learning the Qur'an among students is effective because of the
role of tutors, who are peers, and this method must be maintained. for the development of
learning the Qur'an in the community (Samad & Fajriah, 2017). In this study, the tahsin
program that is carried out regularly improves the ability to read the Qur'an smoothly. The
conclusion from the above research is that the tahsin program carried out must be carried out
with routine and good program management by involving many parties who must work
together to improve the tahsin learning program in the community consisting of parents and
children (Fatkhiyah, Suklani, & Iwan, 2020).
METHOD
This research activity was conducted in Aggaran Village, Karang Tengah. Where this
activity aims to find out how far the understanding of the Qur'an is in the community. We target
children, parents, and mentors at RTQ recitations. In collecting information to achieve research
objectives, the authors use several methods. The method is a way of working that must be
passed to deepen the object under study. In this case, the authors need to determine how the
research in this article works. The method that the author uses in this study is a qualitative
method or conducting direct interviews with the intended object.
This interview method was also carried out by the author by directly coming to the RTQ
Roudhotul Jannah study. We started the interview by asking some questions to some of the
supervisors there. By using the question sheet that the author has prepared. After that, we
continued to interview 2 parents regarding their children's learning progress while studying at
RTQ. Finally, we interviewed the children to find out how much they enjoyed learning at RTQ

Roudhotul Jannah. Not only did the writer ask the children but also did a test of their skills in
reading the Qur'an.
Similar to the problem being studied, in this study, the author uses an approach method to
find out what are the problems and factors behind the community's ability to recite the Qur’an,
and what strategies are used by Rumah Tahsin to eradicate difficulties in improving the ability
to recite the Qur’an and the extent of the role of Rumah Tahsin in eradicating this. In addition,
the author made observations with the head of the RTQ to find out the history of the
establishment of the Tahfizh house, its vision and mission to improve the ability to recite the
Qur’an.
The research in this study is the Tahsin Roudhotul Jannah House. This choice is based on
rational and economic considerations. It is said to be rational because the House of Tahfizh
Qur'an Roudhotul Jannah. is an independent Tahfizh House, the purpose of being independent
is that the funding for the management of the Tahfizh House is sourced from personal funds
(Free for students). The independent Tahfizh House is certainly in great demand by prospective
students, and the students who are in the Tahfizh House come from various economic
backgrounds, ranging from those with middle to lower economies to the upper-middle class.
Furthermore, it is said to be Economical, because the author himself lives in the Tahfizh House.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

Aggaran Village is especially for children, the role for the community, and to find out what
methods are used in teaching the Qur'an to children. The following are the results of interviews
conducted by the authors by some of the intended objects.

supervisors because they digest the lessons
faster, and older siblings are very patient.
What is the reason you prefer to study the
Qur'an at RTQ Roudhotul Jannah, even
though there are other recitations?

Table 2. Parents’ Responses
Questions for Santri’s Parents
Interview results
How did you get to know RTQ Roudhotul
Jannah?
Because I saw many children in the mosque
and my neighbor's children studying there.
Has RTQ Roudhotul Jannah had a good
influence on you and your children?
Very good, because my children are getting
smarter in reading the Qur'an, and their
memorization is increasing. In addition, it
has a good impact so that children don't just
play smartphones.
Are your children enthusiastic about learning
or are they forced to recite the Qur’an?
Very excited, I initially asked them to, but
after that, they went to study of their own
accord.
Do you think there is progress in your
children after studying at RTQ?
There has been a lot of progress, one of
which is my child because he is still small so
he can't write and read. However, in
memorizing they are already very smart.
Because of the guidance of the teachers.

because I don't need to need more energy to
teach them.
Table 3. Mentors’ Responses
Questions for mentors
Interview results
What was the initial purpose of establishing
RTQ Roudhotul Jannah in Budget Village?
I want people in this budget, especially
children, to be able to love the Qur'an more
and be able to read and memorize it.
In teaching children, is it helped by others?
And how regularly does this activity take
place?
At first, it was just me and my wife, but
because of the increasing number of
students. I was helped by a teenage brother
around Budget. Before that, I had tested them
in their knowledge of the Qur'an. The routine
is carried out for the morning and afternoon
from Monday to Friday, while the night is
from Saturday night to Thursday night.
How many students each day, approximately
increase or decrease? How many mentors are
For more than 100 students, because every
day they like to increase and some are
dropping out. The number of supervisors is

here? What are your daily expenses and
income?
about 15 people. And for income, because
we do not require to pay so it is uncertain
every day. However, we get donations from
other institutions. And if the expenditure for
RTQ is only to pay for the supervisor or other
RTQ needs.
Several theories from experts who agree with the method presented by the previous
researcher are the memorization method according to Agus Sujanto in his book, General
Psychology (2004), namely Muroja'ah or it can also be called repeated memorization which is
very important to keep up memorization. Muroja'ah is a process that must be carried out by
everyone who has wrote, be it the Qur'an or Hadith. Without Muroja'ah, memorization is easy
to lose or even disappear from memory. Muroj'ah activity is one method to maintain
memorization in wake up. Ideally, Muroj'ah is done twice a week or more.
And then from Sinaga et al. (2020) spiritual values that underlie the Qur'an as a way of
life, reading the Qur'an refers to rewards, the Qur'an as a source of information and knowledge
in this world and the hereafter, and the Qur'an as a holy book that brings truth. With this
method, the parent first writes down on a piece of paper the verses that the child will memorize.
Some verses will be memorized by the child, depending on the child's ability. Parents can
measure between the verses to be written with the child's ability to memorize. This method is
very effective for children who have high memory, especially for children who cannot read the
Qur’an, this method can be done with two alternatives, namely: children hear readings from
their parents directly, in this case, people parents are asked to play a more active, patient, and
careful role in reading verses and guiding children in memorizing. Parents read one by one then
the child repeats the verse until he can memorize it fluently.
In addition, there are some experts who are more pro to other methods such as the method
of memorizing the Qur'an according to Sa'dulloh al-Hafizh, one of which is Bin-nazar, which
is reading carefully the verses of the Qur'an. an. which will be memorized by looking at the
manuscripts of the Qur'an repeatedly. Bin-nazar should be done as much as possible or as much
as 40 times as was done by earlier scholars for lafaẓ and order of verses a small example of the
role in the classroom by ensuring the condition of the room, whether there is anything that
interferes with the learning process in the classroom so that it continues to run conducive, and
keep up harmony among fellow Muslim students (Muslim et al., 2020).
CONCLUSION
Rumah Tahsin Qur'an Roudhotul Jannah is a place to improve the reading of the Qur'an
and guide children to be able to memorize the Qur'an without forgetting their recitation. From
the results of the previous data, the researcher concluded that the tahsin method applied at the
Roudhatul Jannah RTQ institution was to focus students on improving and improving the
reading of the Qur'an. And almost all of the parents' responses were very good about the Al-
Qur'an learning program at RTQ Roudhatul Jannah. Parents of students think that their children
are getting better at reading the Qur'an, and their memorization is getting better.

There is also a lot of progress, for example, they are already good at reading Iqra,
memorizing without them having to be good at reading because they have been helped by their
mentors. Children who study at RTQ Roudhatul Jannah have various responses regarding the
learning process. Some children say they are happy because they can memorize many things,
so they can also play with friends. Roudhatul Jannah's RTQ is because she wants people to
understand more about the science of the Qur'an and she likes to share knowledge, especially
seeing that children must love the Qur'an generation who can not only play with their gadgets.
The teaching and learning process was initially just him and his wife, but as there were more
students, eventually he was assisted by teenagers who were tested for their readiness and
knowledge in the science of the Qur'an.
The role of Rumah Tahsin Qur'an Roudhotul Jannah is very important for the people of
Aggaran Village and also for people who cannot afford it, it is very helpful because Roudhotul
Jannah RTQ does not charge any fees. So the purpose of RTQ Roudhotul Jannah is only that
people and children can love the Qur'an more and can learn the Science of the Qur'an.
